Dataset Updates

Scope3 gets new data from its various sources (data vendors, crawling the web, customer contributions, new research in the open source repo, etc) on a daily basis. Yesterday's data will be available via API no later than 8 am UTC the following day. In addition, Scope3 frequently updates the model on top of this data to add features and generally make it more accurate.

Since many use cases for our data require consistency throughout a month, we post an authoritative dataset 3 business days prior to the start of each month. For instance, we will post the February 2023 dataset on Friday, January 27 to take effect at midnight UTC on February 1.

To minimize surprises and provide visibility into the evolution of the data, we provide a latest flag that will show the latest dataset that we have built. This latest dataset should not be used for any production purposes, but can be useful to see how an in-month change will impact the next month's dataset (for instance, when an ads.txt file is updated).
